Airport
The next few hours for David were total agony. Lex and Chloe were at each other throats. Though every once in a while
'If it's a war she wants, a war she'll get.'
Lex thought to himself as he eyed Chloe who grinned mischievously up at him.
"What?"
He asked, finally showing his irritation.
"Nothing."
He was about to make another comment when a soft ding interrupted him.
"Please return to your seats and buckle up. We'll be landing shortly."
Lex glared in the direction of the cockpit as he went back to his seat. Looking over at Chloe he saw her buckling up, when she was done the blonde flashed a grin at him and then glanced over at David.
Turning his blue eyes toward the sandy blonde sitting in the other row he saw his friend grin sheepishly and guiltily before he looked away.
Something was up and he knew it. Then he grinned to himself. He was going to enjoy the next week. With Chloe losing the bet to him on who would be first to argue…well that made him a very smug guy.
Chloe knew what Lex was thinking about the moment she saw his face. Resisting the urge to glare at him she waited as the plane landed. When they were allowed to unbuckle, she quickly got her stuff and hurried to the front. She didn't want to stay on this flying death trap any longer than she had to be.
"In a hurry Miss Sullivan?"
She heard Lex ask into her ear. Chloe gritted her teeth as the people filed off one by one.
"If I was, its none of your business Lex."
Finally it was her turn and she wasted no time in getting off.
When they reached the gateway where she knew and hoped her dad would be to give her a ride home they were instead greeted by her worst nightmare ever.
"Lex. Good to see you home, finally."
Lionel Luthor said as he came to a stop in front of them. Chloe unconsciously ducked behind David, letting him hid her from the older man.
"Hello dad."
Lex looked tense and alert, like he was waiting for something anything that could tip him off as to why his father was there.
"Why are you here?"
Lionel tried to see around David's bulk, curious to see who was hiding behind him, but in the end gave up.
"I came here to greet you and give you a ride home."
Lex frowned slightly but it quickly disappeared. Turning toward David and the hidden Chloe he said softly.
"I'll see you guys later."
"Ok Lex, bye man."
Lex made eye contact with Chloe, grinning slightly.
"And you Miss Sullivan, we have un finished business and I'll come to collect it later."
With that and a final smug smirk, Lex and Lionel left. Chuckling David shook his head.
"Luthors. Always playing a part in a play."
He glanced down at Chloe, who was still staring off in the direction that Lex had gone.
"Care to tell me what was his part of the bet if he won."
Chloe snapped out of her thoughts and looked up at her tall friend, grinning.
"No actually. I don't want too. Its kinda embarrassing."
They started moving towards the doors, loaded with all their luggage. Chloe hadn't brought much. Just enough to fill two bags. David had three. Of course he'd been there longer.
"What? Did he say you'd have to sleep with him?"
Chloe's face went a deep red. Pausing at the door she saw her dad walking up to greet her. Turning back to look at David she smiled a little.
"No."
"Then what is it?"
Her dad was just a few feet away.
"I have to be his slave for a week."
David's grey eyes widened as she took off, turning around she waved back at him.
"See ya David! I'll see you later at Lex's!"
With that she disappeared with her dad into the crowd. Shaking his head, David grinned.
"A slave for the week huh? This ought to be interesting…"
